I hope by genetic code you mean DNA, and that's what I'm basing this question off of. Actually the DNA doesn't duplicate in mitosis; it duplicates in interphase, specifically synthase (S Phase).
During the G1 phase the eukaryotic cell cycle is the genetic material duplicated.
The genetic material is replicated in the S phase, during which the cell grows and reproduces all contents inside itself.
Interphase
During interphase
During Interphase.
When the cell is splitting in two. Here is the order: the cell grows to twice its size, makes a copy of its genetic material, slices itself in the middle, and finally splits into two equal cells.
Mitosis and cytokinesis, although the process is reversed from what you ask in your question. During mitosis a cell duplicates its genetic material and then it divides into two new cells during cytokinesis.

Chromosomes are replicated during DNA replication, which occurs during interphase.

Bacteria cells have their own genetic material.

DNA is visible during mitosis (replication) when the chromosomes condense.

Chromosomes are replicated during DNA replication, which occurs during interphase.
Chromosomal material replicates during mitosis. Chromosomes become sister chromatids, which ultimately break off to form identical chromosomes and two identical cells.
The DNA replicates before mitosis begins
During mitosis, DNA content in the cell decreases. This is due to the fact that the cell is splitting in half, and it loses quite a bit of it's genetic material during the separation.
Cells replicate for many reasons, they replicate by a process of mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis producing two daughter cells and meiosis producing gamete cells (sperm or ovum(egg) )
G1phase phase is the period during the life of a cell between the end of mitosis and the synthesis of more genetic material.
